Dhanush is known to star in different genre entertainers and he is currently starring in the direction of Rajkumar Periasamy of Amaran fame. The film is titled OM and the recently released first look of Dhanush showed him as a rugged smuggler in a forest

This immediately drew comparisions with Allu Arjun's Pushpa in which Allu Arjun played the red sandalwood smuggler. Rajkumar Periasamy reacting to it said “We have only shown a small portion of the film. OM has many layers and elements. Once audiences watch the complete film, everything will make sense. People can interpret the teaser in different ways. We released it to generate curiosity and discussion,”
The film stars Mammootty in an important role while sizzling beauties Sreeleela and Sai Pallavi are playing the female leads. Om Part 1 is slated for a grand release on 16 October 2026 and the film's music is tuned by Sai Abhyankar.
